Two employees were forced to the ground by armed robbers in what was the second burglary at the store in about two weeks.

Officers responded to Dunkin’ Donuts, at 532 Westgate Drive, about 10:17 p.m. on Monday for a report of an armed robbery, the Enterprise reported.

“Upon the officers’ arrival, they met with two employees, who sated a few minutes prior two black males came through the front door wearing all black,” police Detective Lt. Kenneth LeGrice told The Enterprise. “The males jumped the counter and one of the parties ordered them to the floor with a gun.”

When the two employees were on the ground behind the counter, police said, the suspects went to the back door of the coffee shop and let a third man in.

“They stole money from the register and the tip jar and all three parties exited the back door,” LeGrice said.

The employees told police the suspects were “very aggressive.” The men had hooded sweatshirts tied tightly around their faces to conceal their identities.

Police were told the men fled toward the Lowe’s Home Improvement store and Texas Roadhouse. Officers searched the area, but did not locate any of the men.

The robbery comes just over two weeks after the same Dunkin’ Donuts was robbed about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 22. The employees told police they were assaulted by the robbers.

Police could not say Tuesday if the two robberies are connected at all.

No arrests had been made as of Tuesday morning in the recent robbery, which remains under investigation by Brockton police.
